    Cascadia. You can get manuals in them. I drove a sd 122 FL in the oil field. That's would be a better starting point for heavy haul. Assuming they still make something like that. It had high ground clearance, bigger hood for larger radiator. Thicker frame.


    Stupid auto correct.

    Granted I do not know how to spec a heavy haul set up because I've never done it, but can generally figure out proper tools for the job.

    Kind of like the guy I walked in on changing an industrial refrigeration compressor, he was removing bolts, that have to be reused or replaced, with a frigging pipe wrench because he didn't have an 1-1/2 socket or end wrench, got on to him about the tools and said I don't give a #### if you go get them at Harbor freight but get the correct tool. He was making an already pain of a job take longer for him and a bigger pain in the ### for the next guy.

    I have a 12K steer and 12K tag, but 46k 2speed rears with 4:10 and 5:62 ratios. It is not a heavy haul truck by any means as it started life as a logging truck, but we can pack 55k on the drives if needed. We can't get more than 12K on the steer and tag anyway with the neck of our trailer, and it is only a 50 ton. We are just a little heavier than road trucks.

    Yeah, but your states allow you to load 46 on the drive and 10 on the pusher. That’s generally frowned upon where people live. Lots of states make you get within 2k between drives and pusher.
